It really seems like members of the Green Bay Packers’ defense weren’t happy playing under Joe Barry.
A change of coordinator can make a world of difference schematically, but sometimes the person and their ability to connect with players means even more. And at this point, with Jeff Hafley holding the Packers’ new defensive coordinator job for over four months, all of the returns from his players seem positive.
Yes, the approach to playing the game is different, and the players are excited about having a different mindset on the field. But there seems to be more to it than just that.
